Moving On: Pathways Taken by Young People Beyond 16 (yearly reports 2002 to 2007)

These reports give the results of each Annual Activity Survey undertaken by Connexions services from 2002 through to 2007. They provide  information about the early pathways taken by young people in England beyond their compulsory education.

Since 1996 the Department has required the reporting of activity data for former Year 11 pupils as part of its contract with the organisations providing careers and connexions services. 

The data from these Annual Activity Surveys provides valuable information at both national and local level on the early transition of young people from compulsory education. It can inform young people, their teachers, parents and advisers, and the research community of the early post-16 pathways taken by recent cohorts of young people. The occupational distribution of jobs and training chosen by young people at 16 is also a useful source of information about the youth labour market.

Gender and ethnic breakdowns are included for the Year 11 data, as is progression information for those with special needs.

Many Connexions services publish their own local information and make it available to schools and a range of other local partners.
